Welcome to Gross Barmen
Directly north of Windhoek (70km) lies the industrial town of Okahandja, known as the 'Garden Town of Namibia'. Gross Barmen Hot Springs Resort is nestled on the banks of a tributary of the Swakop River only 100kms from Windhoek, and 25kms from the town of Okahandja.
Not only is it a great stopover for self-drive travelers on the way to the coast or further north to Etosha National Park, it is also within easy reach for weekend or day trips from the capital. Originally the site was an early Rhenish mission station, established in 1844, of which the ruins can still be seen.
The missionaries gave the station it's name Gross Barmen, having previously been called Otjikango Otjinene - Herero for large fountain.

Gross Barman Hot Springs
The water temperature of the open-air swimming pool, (influenced by the
air
temperature) is usually between 25 and 29deg C during the day. As the
water
bubbles from the earth at a temperature of 65deg C and then cooling off to
40 deg C for the thermal bath, the Gross Barmen Hot Springs advises those
with heart or kidney problems, to use the periods of therapy in the hot
water
in moderation, as it could have adverse effects. The water in the
children's
splash pool is lukewarm.
Activities
The main attraction of the resort, (open throughout the year) is its hot mineral spring water.

Guests receive a healthy glow after sensible and balanced sessions in either the large indoor thermal bath, the open-air swimming pool or in the private baths.
